What did you give up for Lent, if anything?

[capslock]

The rule for Lent is: No meat on Fridays during Lent. Therefore, I ate no meat on Fridays during Lent, except once when I was sick and required chicken noodle soup. Also, on Good Friday, a good, healthy, adult Catholic should fast, and have only one small meal. I did not make any larger scale sacrifices, however, like no video games or something like that.

I thought in the Catholic church you weren't supposed to have meat on every Friday, not just during Lent.

 

[capslock]

No way. Only during Lent, as a sacrifice.

Watch what you call garbage, boy. You wouldn't want to end up in a 5'x5'x5' cage, now would you?

I gave up putting people in a 4'x4'x4' cage. I now go fo the larger version for legal purposes.

I think hardcore Catholics never eat meat on Fridays.

"Boy"?!?! "Boy"?!?!?! Watch who you are calling boy here. Your pathetic threats of a cage seem like something that a Priest might do to a boy, but they would also molest him.

I won't go further into my adbundant reasons for being anti-religious, not believing in that unproven trash in the bible.

Anyway, what is "lent"? Not related to "lentils", I assume . . .

The Lenton season is named after the prophet Lentus in the Old Testament. In Obideous 13:12, Lentus said atop Mount Sinai "in the worship of our Lord and Saviour, let us abandon our selfish ways for forty days."

Ohh, I see.

Nah. I'll take the 2m x 2m x 2m model, thank you very much. That way I can fit a TV in and watch NHL Playoffs while thinking about how crappy religion is!

 

[Goober]

What V said, but with a Computer, and a T1 line, not a useless TV. I mean really, you can watch TV on a Computer . . .

That way I can POST about how silly religion is . . .

 

[Vancouver 2010]

I could probably squeeze both a TV and a computer into an 8m³ space. That way I could watch NHL Playoffs AND post about them!

 

[Goober]

I was gonna say how you don't need a TV if you had a computer, but you woulkd if you wanted to simultaneously watch your TV, and post about how silly religion is . . .

 

[the mormegil]

I didn't give up anything (I'm not religious) but I did have pancakes on the previous tuesday for tradition. (Is that just an English thing or do other places have pancakes on that day?)

 

[stormbind]

I did not observe lent

Religion is great!

 

[Fanatica]

I gave up unnecessary religious rituals in my life for Lent.
Hopefully it's permanent.

 

[marioh]

I gave up praying to Satan for Lent.

Well, it sounded joke-ish, but crazier things have been done, so I thought (with some doubt) you were serious.
